IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: An optical connector module including: a holder (120)
including at least one optical device (121) and electrode
(125); a connector (140) having at least one optical fiber
(150) for light transmission, to correspond to the optical
device, and latches (143); and a body (100) in an open
structure without top and bottom plates, having a base
(111), a pair of sidewall portions (113) extending from
the base, a binding space (110) for receiving the holder
and the connector such that the input/output ends of the
optical fiber of the connector are aligned to the optical
device of the holder, and latch-receiving grooves (103) on
the sidewall portions to receive the latches of the

Abstract: An intelligent camera system (301) and method for
recognizing license plates, in accordance with the invention,
includes a camera (300) adapted to independently capture a
license plate image and recognize the license plate image.
The camera includes a processor (303) for managing image data
and executing a license plate recognition program device

Abstract: Certain steroid compounds which are 2. a. -cyano-4. a. , 5. a. -epoxy-3-oxo steroids notably trilostane, act on specific isoforms of the oestrogen receptor in human and animal cells. The compounds are used to treat certain conditions in hormone-sensitive organs such as but not exclusively breast, prostate, central nervous system, heart, blood vessels and uterus. The invention shows that trilostane and related compounds selectively modulate ligand binding to the oestrogen receptor and in particular to oestrogen receptor beta. Also claimed are particulate forms of these compounds which consist of particles having a mean equivalent sphere volume diameter of 12  m or less and 90% having a particle size less than 50  m.
